So in my group we have a backlog crusade we are doing to try and get through our backlogs. On my Steam account I've been using Random Steam Game to pick which game to tackle next. Well I also have a big Desura game backlog and was trying to find something that would randomly pick a Desura game for me too.

I've searched for a few days now and haven't been able to find anything to do it. I know I can make a spread sheet list of my Desura games but that will take quite some time. I was wondering if anyone knew of anything out there that would do this just the Steam one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know of any since I don't use Desura but if the library lists the games for you, you could technically just use random.org. ^__^ Or wing it.

Ya I can't just copy them over I'd have to type in every single game separately. I'm hoping someone knows something but if not it'll be the long way.

Well I mean this:
If Desura says you have 305 games and lists them. Random 305 and find the game that corresponds to the answer.
No count? Roughly how many pages (/of scrolling) do you have to view your entire library? Random <# of pages>; then random <# of games on page>

Or just assign a number to each game in your library and use a random number generator.

I was just thinking of this. Random a number and just count to which one it is

Yeah, I do that with all sorts of stuff.

Like whenever I can't decide what I want to eat, I just open up a text file I have with foods assigned to numbers. haha

Backloggery could help, but you need to enter the games first.

Are you allowed to do giveaways for Desura games here? I've got loads and will never use them. Just wondering!

You could do on the forums.

Gala Giveaways, as poorly as it is regarded by users here (for good reason), does allow Desura giveaways.

Thanks for the info. I'll bear that in mind for the future. For now, feel free to use these desura codes as you like!

Thanks for offering the Groupees Bemine 8 Desura keys. Already have them myself, but hopefully whoever claims them will enjoy the games.

Since my knowledge of coding web-based scripts isn't that good I made a little AutoIT-Script that does the job. Enter Desura Username and it gets your Gamelist. After that you can click the Pick Game button and it will give you one of your games to play.

DL: Click
Virustotal: Click

Maybe someone is willing to code this web-based but for the time being my little program should be suffiscient. It obviously could need some improvement though but I'm pretty lazy :3

If you use backloggery.com, it allows you to randomly pick a game from your library, and you can specify which platform you want the game to be. Only downside is, if you aren't using it already, you'll have to manually enter your games to get started.
